If the name David Choe sounds familiar, it might because you’ve seen the L.A.-based artist’s work around the city.

Or maybe it’s because he became a world famous multi-millionaire this year…thanks to Facebook?

Back in 2005, Sean Parker asked Choe to paint the walls of his startup in exchange for money or stock in the company.

Choe took the stock, and now he’s accumulated more than $200 million (seriously- we’re not making this stuff up!).

But even with this newfound cash he’s sticking close to his art roots with a sketchbook, just in at Urban Outfitters.

Featuring 200-pages of pencil drawings from Choe that you can fill in or add to yourself, this art-meets-fashion mashup is cool enough to tempt you to ditch business school for art full time.

Hey, if David Choe can do it…?

About $17 here.
